Wingnut Wrapup

Today's Wingnut Wrapup is dedicated to old hand David Gergen, who had this to say about Trump's disgusting, lying forty minute smear of Hillary:

"DAVID GERGEN: If you don't look at what the substance of what he said, one of his best speeches and most effective speeches."

If you don't look at the substance. That's a good way to pick a President. Well, Trump's speech was not quite as good as a Hitler speech maybe, but let's just ignore the substance of what Hitler said too. That way, we can admire both of them.

Matt Vespa, Town Hall: "Media Screwing Up Reports On The AR-15 During Mass Shootings Isn’t New, Nor Was It The Most Embarrassing"

You see, because they got wrong the exact model of assault rifle the Orlando killer used, they don't have a damned right to say a word about the 49 people he killed. Just for your information, here is the actual model, from Sig Sauer:

and an AR-15:

As you can see the two products are so dissimilar in appearance and use, that anyone that mistook one for the other is an ignorant fool that could not tell the difference between, say, a live clubgoer and a dead one, or a Republican Congressman and a bought-and-paid-for tool of the NRA. Oh wait a minute- there is no difference between the last two.

Bruce Bialosky, Town Hall: "This Is On Obama... how ISIS has grown and prospered is the responsibility of President Obama more than anyone else, and that needs to be identified and he needs to be held accountable for that."

Bruce, you know damned well who in the White House was really responsible for ISIS- it was your guys and their criminal war of aggression against Iraq. No amount of lying on your part will ever change that. And just a word about letting right wingers rewrite history: This country should have learned a lesson from what happened when we let people pretend that the Confederate generals were heroes, instead of traitors. It's time for the truth. Practically everything that has ever gone wrong with this country (and most of the rest of the world) has been caused by the right, and every time we forget that, we get screwed.

SHUT UP, HILLARY!!!!!!! Man, that is a powerful ad. And with a message simple enough for the suckers who support them to understand.

Cliff Kincaid, Renew America: "We need more Islamophobia, not less"

Whatever, Cliff. Just shoot your mouth off about anything you want. Who cares what you have to say?

Paul Bremmer, World Net Daily: "BLACK AMERICANS WARNED: DEMOCRATS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS! 'They are essentially brainwashed by liberals who have much to gain'

Warned. Well it was thoughtful of someone to take the time to offer the help. And warned by whom? Ben Kinchlow, the cofounder of the 700 club, along with Pat Robertson. I'm sure Ben only had black Americans' best interests at heart. Of course, Ben repeats the same tired lies about how every shred of civil rights progress in history came from Republicans. Luckily, the number of black people who read World Net Daily is pretty close to zero, and not very many of them are dumb enough to believe that, anyway.

David Kupelian, World Net Daily: "PRESIDENT HILLARY: AMERICA'S NURSE RATCHED... Exclusive... how Clintons would turn U.S. into insane asylum

Well, get ready for stories like this. With Trump being pretty much a made-to-order Bond villain, we can expect Hillary to be compared to every evil fictional woman in history. Next up: "Hillary- the Cirsei Lannister of America."

World Net Daily: "Supremes eye 'assault-weapon' bans in 2 states"

Supremes?

Who knew they cared?

Barbwire: "ORLANDO TRAGEDY – A TIME FOR PRAYER NOT POLITICS"

I.e. a time to do nothing, just like all the other times. Because profits are more important than lives.

Michael Bresciani, Barbwire: "REALLY AMERICA! – WHICH CANDIDATE IS MOST LIKELY TO STOP MORE JIHADIST ATTACKS?"

Maybe we should start by asking the question "which candidate is most likely to cause more jihadist attacks.

Before It's News: "Obama Signed Over the US to the United Nations... President Obama effectively signed over the sovereignty of the United States to the United Nations...the United States became a de facto puppet state of the United Nations nearly nine months ago."

Just thought you'd like to know. Guess the election doesn't seem that important any more. By the way, might you be a little curious about how Obama signed over our sovereignty and turned us into a puppet state? Why, it was because he agreed to participate in worldwide program to increase vaccination rates in third world countries. And as an additional crime:

"This means the continued degradation of the American male as the strong leader of the family unit as per Biblical teachings"

Matt Vespa, Town Hall: "Failed Gun Control Push Only Gave Senate Democrats Another Opportunity To Bash The NRA...I honestly have no clue what Senate Democrats were smoking when they decided to hold these pro-gun control amendments that were doomed to fail from the outset. There was no way Senate Republicans were going to get onboard to expand background checks...Nothing was going to happen. Period."

And you just can't figure out why Democrats proposed something that 90% of the American people support, but that corrupt Republicans won't pass. Just can't figure it out. Okay then, Matt.

No word on how many "Conservative women" actually showed up, and curiously enough, the web page of the organization holding this event did not have a single picture of it. The photo at Town Hall showed 11 visible women, and two men.

Well, it's a start. Maybe next year they will get 30. And a camera that takes color pictures.

Rick Moran, PJ Media: "Trump's Campaign Is Sinking and No One Is Doing Anything About It"

Not Green Eagle. Green Eagle is laughing himself sick about it. And Rick, Green Eagle is not alone.

Dr. Michael Brown, Barbwire: "In the aftermath of the Orlando massacre, leftist voices are not only blaming conservative Christians for the tragedy, they are now calling on Christians to renounce their sacred beliefs and historic convictions, as if holding to a biblical definition of marriage leads to mass murder."

It does, at least if history is much of a guide.

Dr. Don Boys, Barbwire: "DESTRUCTION OF SOUTHERN CULTURE BY FANATICS! Politicians, academics, and media moguls who hate the courage, character, commitment, and culture of the South are trying to deny, denigrate, and destroy Southern values. However, they have jumped on a bandwagon with loose wheels and will not know total victory–not without another uncivil war."

Helpfully illustrated by the following photo:

I guess we all know what they mean by the "courage, character, commitment" of the south.

In this case, our God-given right to own an assault weapon. I actually missed that part when I read the Bible. Maybe they found it in the Koran. Or the Necronomicon.

And boy, they'll never give up on this one:

Jerry Newcombe, Renew America: "At least Bush kept us safe at home"

Safe. Right.

And now, this height of ludicrousness:

Susan Ferrechio, Renew America: "Republicans moved early Thursday morning to adjourn the House ahead of schedule for the July 4 recess after Democrats refused to end their takeover of the chamber, and threatened to prevent the House from doing any work through Friday or even beyond"

Threatened to prevent the House from doing any work. The jokes write themselves.
